I am axischemicals. I used to come here and read stuff back in the day, but never joined. I collect Batman figures. I've liked Batsy since I was 4 and now I'm 22.
Yeah. Got nothing much to say, really.
I'm selling a buncha Batstuff to lighten my collection, so feel free to check it out in the pawn area.
My collection is mostly kenner era stuff. It is 86% complete, I'd say. I quit collecting modern stuff when Mattel killed DC with distribution issues. I haven't seen a single Bat figure in my area in eons, and THIS MAKES ME SAD.
Alright, well. Don't go raiding my compounds at night. It may turn you into a clown.

Fascinating story. But I'm always happy to see younger Bat-Fans. It balances the whole thing out.

Well hello, everyone. Its been awhile since Ive stopped in and checked on whats going on, so I thought Id say hi and maybe give a little info on what Ive been up to. Im still a Batman fan.LOL Though I have sold off a vast majority of my collection. I stopped collecting the comics about 2 years ago and actually sold off my entire comic book collection. Dont know if anyone remembers, but my earliest was a #10, with a dozen or so other Golden Age issues, and had a consistent run from issue 200 up for Batman, Tec was almost as consistent, and had full rund of every other Batman title along with all the minis, one shots, and GN's. Figured it was time for others to enjoy the books like I once did. I did keep 2 specific books though. I dont really collect a whole lot of Batman anymore. I enjoy what I still have in my collection and pick up an occasional piece here and there. Mostly items that are remnisient of the 80's and 70's. I started collecting Transformers again and got back into Horror collecting. Mainly Elm Street and Halloween. Havent been a huge fan of the Nolan franchise, but I am a bit anxious for this next one. Love Bane. Dont do the Batman costuming anymore either. I sold off all my Batman costumes and moved on. No regrets though. Anyway, glad to see that the site is still here and there are still fans around keeping the Legion alive.

Hello. My name is Evan and I have been a Batman fan since I exited my mothers womb. I grew up on BTAS and the Burton films tapped off of HBO. I grew up without a father but it's all good because Batman was there to fill that void and teach me my life leasons. I work part time at a comic book store were I am referred to as the resident Batfan. Thats basically me in a nutshell. Now, a couple facts that show what kind of fan I am:
1. I hate Jason Todd Robin but love him as Red Hood. 2. I'm in the Nolan film side but still enjoy all the other films. 3. My favorite Batman writer is Doug Moench or Paul Dini. 4. My favorite Batman artist is Kelly Jones 5. I collect all the Bat books except the side characters. 6. Bruce is my Batman but I enjoy Dick Grayson. 7. I dont get upset with changes to Batman because it always goes back to normal and changes always spark new interest. 8. I love what Grant Morrison has done so far but I really didnt understand Return of Bruce Wayne. 9. My favorite Robin is Damian Wayne. 10. I've enjoyed all the animated interpetations of Batman and I look forward to hearing more on the new show.

Hello, everyone! I'm brand new to the boards and wanted to say hi. I'm a huge Batman fan and enjoy talking about the comics and films with other fans. I'm actually old enough to have seen the 60's TV show when it was still airing. Nowadays, I mostly just enjoy the films, and will pick up a graphic novel now and then. THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS and YEAR ONE are my favorites.
As far as films, I'm actually not as big a fan of THE DARK KNIGHT as most other people are. It definitely has some really cool stuff, but Nolan tried to shoehorn waaay too much stuff in. For me anyway, the movie just rushes from one scene to the next for 2 1/2 hours. I think BATMAN BEGINS was much more effective overall as a film.
Anyway, see you around board!

...btw, I am currently reading Batman Odyssey, a title that doesn't seem to get much play as compared to the other titles out there. I really love Neal Adams, but this title has disappointed me so far. We're halfway into it, and Adams has only barely started to answer questions, after having thrown the kitchen sink at us up until now. And don't even get me started on the wait between issues...

I actually haven't read one in a while. HEART OF HUSH has gotten a lot of good press, but I have not read it. Sorry that I really can't suggest too much.
I remember back when graphic novels were very much adult-oriented as compared to the monthly comics, and as such the graphic novels were definite alternative to the standard fare. Nowadays, since standards have loosened quite a bit, graphic novels aren't really any more dark adult-themed than the standard titles.

welcome to the new members.
let's keep this thread for what it was started for. start a thread in the Batman section to discuss Miller's works and there's already a solid recommendations thread there as well to discuss other collected works.

Been a fan of Batman since i watched the Superfriends show in the 80's and when i saw Batman in 1989 5 times in theaters when i was 8, even had the merchandise, a birthday cake, ate the cereal, played the games and more including some of the comics i read from my big brother and bought some of my own Batman comics, i was converted into a Batman fan. I also loved the animated show since i was 11 years old when it aired.

Hey guys, I'm new here, but not new to Batman by any stretch of the imagination. I'm a huge fan of it all - comics, animation, movies, etc. I'm also an aspiring artist - if any of you have seen the Bat Family Reboot picture with a lineup of the New 52 characters, I'm the artist for that! Anyway, I just posted up my designs for a personal dream Batman project if anyone's interested to take a look: legionsofgotham.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=generaltalk&action=display&thread=6925On a side note: I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE DARK KNIGHT RISES!! I really think it's going to be the best cinematic experience in my life. As life-long Batman fan, and a Nolan fan, this is something really special. For anyone who doesn't buy into the whole "realism" - I beg you to watch it as a movie, and not a comic book adaptation.

My name is C.Lovett, I'am from Alabaster, AL and I've been a batman fan for as long as I can remember (Bluejay is the name of my OC character) and Val Kilmer was my first Batman (Don't hurt me!) I love the animated series including the 60s version!, I'm just hoping to mingle with my other fellow bat-fans
I'm also a Trekkie, Whovian, Brony etc!
